k . Chairman Zergott called all interested parties forward to review the request. Mr. Dave Ports with Ports Architect, Mr. Pugh, with Roberts Group Architect, Mr. Baum with Famous Dave's, and Mr. Mckinley, Operations director of Famous Dave's each were present to review the proposal. Applicants reviewed that they met with City officials and believe that the plans meet the suggestions made. The use of stone and colored e.f.i.s. and siding has been added to help bring the style of the building in line with the product. A new vestibule will be constructed at the main entrance. New canopies with goose neck lights have been added over each of the windows. The color pallet chosen is earthy colors to match the restaurants rustic nature and the existing shopping center. The existing brick base will be repaired and painted a dark color to anchor the building. The dark brick base along the west front entry is a planter box and will continue under the vestibule and along the north side of the building. The service area will be located in tfie south east corner of the site and will have a screening wall. Ms. Nader voiced a concern that the service area would face into the main mall area and the screening would not hide the hood fans/smoker stack. Applicants indicated that the smoker stack would be painted the same color of the building to help hide it. The air conditioning units will be screened from view. Mr. Zergott indicated that along Lorain Road the plans show shrub roses only, he would like a mixture of Shrub Roses, Maiden Grass, Black Eye Susan's, Stella D'Ora's, and other perennials that will bloom spring through fall. The proposed ginkgo trees he is not sure he would want on the site as it is hard to tell if you have male or female plant. He's not sure they would fit in the beds along the north side of the building either. He suggested the planting beds be 75% evergreen, blue night salvia, which is already on site. Increase same quality at the ends to anchor the corners. Use a Taxus Densiformis shrub in the middle, which is low and won't interfere with the signage. The juniper is very low lying and will be a mat along the planter beds. Applicants questioned if the juniper should be removed from the beds as the beds are only 12 to 18 inches deep. Mr. Zergott recommended only two trees (low growing dogwood or Japanese maple) on the north side of the building placed in the lawn area on either side of the wall sign. Applicants should use 3 Austrian pines to hide the smoke vent from the mall view. From the south east corner inward, place 6-foot arborvitae on 3-foot center where the building and service area meet. Mr. Rymarczyk requested the irrigation plans be called out in the next landscaping plans submitted for Planning Commissiou. He reviewed for the applicants that the photometric plans as shown will require variances and cut sheets of all light fixtures are required to be submitted and reminded the applicant that the lights must have full cutoffs. Applicants indicated that they would show an irrigation plan on the new landscaping plan and submit new photometric plans and cut sheets of the light fixtures. The existing two pole lights will be removed and the bases will remain. Mr. Rymarczyk indicated that light pole bases within 5-fi;et from a parking area require 30 inch high base. There will be one sconce light on either side of the entrance vestibule. Note: new photometric plans and landscaping plans are to be submitted showing clianges requested at Planning Commission meeting. B.

Planting beds along Brookpark Road are to have a variation of Grasses, Black-eyed Susan's, 5tella I)'Oro's, Autumn Joy Sedum and Bush Roses. The Ginkgo's are to be removed and replaced with Red Japanese Maple trees to frame in the north elevation planting beds. Around the bases of the tree shall be Stella D'Oro's or Day Lilies.
